Light at the end of the tunnel

I have been feeling a bit lost and wondering what direction to take everything recently, but I think I am beginning to see where I should head. In fact I am now getting very positive about the future.

I am hoping to get more walking done and out on my bicycle. More videos and podcasts are planned so I am quite excited.

I have that the BBC will be getting in touch with me sometime this week regarding the presenter course I have managed to get myself on to, so that is exciting. I am also changing the format of the next batch of Bald Explorer videos. I want...

Fighting the Demons

Recently I haven’t been as proactive as normal. I have been tweeting disturbing comments on Twitter and generally making a misery of myself.

I do not suffer with clinical depression in anyway, but I do get down and emotional drained. There are days, I sure we all have, when things seem not to be working, life is tougher than normal, smiling is a bit of an effort and being agreeable is tricky. I am there at the moment.

Presenting at the BBC

A few months a go, at the beginning of 2012 in fact, I was advised to go for a presenters course that would be sponsored by the BBC to seek new presenters. This presumably was an equal opportunities initiative and aimed at disabled people. I was very hesitant about applying at first because although I suppose technically I am disabled by the fact that I have had to loose an eye and have no vision...

Happy Now? Bad service from Ask

My sister had come to visit whom I hadn’t seen for many years and we decided to celebrate with a visit to Ask in Warwick St, in Worthing taking my two teenage children with us. Initially the service was adequate and pretty average, although the prices reflected on the menu were a little high. So I expected that the food would be something special.

I ordered the spaghetti bolognese as I was in the mood for something safe and filling. The portion was quite small, not much bigger than a starter size, the plate was cold and consequently the food wasn’t very hot....

Finished my Script for Ep 4

I am at Harriet’s house and talking about the news that I have managed to finish my script for the next episode of the Bald Explorer. I am very excited about this.
